' COMBINATION TABLE AND IRONING-BOARD.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 1, 1920.

Application filed December 26, 1919. Serial No. 347,564.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HERMAN HOEGLUND, a naturalized citizen of the-United States, residing at Hawley, in the county of Clay and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new, and useful Improvements in Combination Tables and Ironing -Boards, of which the following'is a specification.

My invention relates to combination ironing boards and tables and the object is to provide a simple device of such construction that it can be used interchangeably either as a table or an ironing board. F urther objects will be disclosed in the course of the following specification. The invention is clearly shown in the accompanying drawings, in which: 7

Figure 1 is a top or plan view of my combination ironing board and table as being used in the form of a table, and also showing how an auxiliary or sleeve board may be secured to the same.

Fig. 2 is a sideview of the table, or as seen from the bottom in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a top view of the device as seen when used as an ironing board, with portions broken away.

Fig. 4 is a side view of the device as seen from the bottom in Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 is an end view of the device as seen from the right in Fig. 2, but with the auxiliary board 19 omitted.

Referring to the drawings by reference numerals 6 designates a table top secured to a frame 7 which is supported on legs 8. The table top 6 is divided into three parts, the central part 9 being smaller at one end, as is customary with ironing boards, and the other parts of the table top being so cut as to snugly lit to said part 9. The frame 7 is vertically separable at the middle of the end under the smaller end of the board 9 (see Figs. 1 and 5), but the opposite end is divided in three parts to correspond to the divisions in the table top, but such parts are hingedly secured together by hinges 10. When the device is used as a table the two parts of the first mentioned end of the frame 7 are secured together by a hook or other suitable clasping device 11. When it is desired to use the ironing board 9 the clasp 11 is released and the table top parts secured to the frame 7 are with it swung back on the hinges 10 (see Figs. 3 and 1) as far as becomes necessary or convenient. The board 9 is then still supported at one and (near the hinges) as before but a second supporting device is necessary at the opposite end. This consists of a set of parallel, angular supporting legs 12 pivotally secured to the frame 7 at 13 and braces 14 connected by a cross brace 1.5 pivotally secured at 15 to said legs 12. Said cross brace 15 is adapted to engage against a transverse cleat 15 secured to the under side of the board9.

To one end ofthe table I provide a bracket or socket 17 adapted to be engaged by the shank 18 of an auxiliary or more commonly known as sleeve board 19. This board can of course be used whether the device is otherwise folded together or spread out.

Having now fully shown and described my invention, what I claim to be new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:

1. A combination table and ironing board consisting of'a frame composed of a plurality of sections and suitablyv supported on legs, hinge connections connecting adjoining of said sections at one end of said frame, means for securing together said sections at the opposite end of said frame, a table top supported on.said frame, a portion of said top consisting of an ironing board fixed at one end to a portion of the end of said frame having said hinges.

2. A device of the class described consisting of an ironing board fixed at one end to a frame section, secondary frame sections and legs adapted to support the same hingedly secured to said first mentioned frame section whereby the same may be swung to and away from the free end of said ironing board, top boards secured to said secondary frame sections adapted to fit to said iron-- ing board when said frame sections are in closed positions, means for supporting the free end of said ironing board in a horizontal position.

In testimony whereof I aflix my si ature. HERMAN HOEGL% ND.
